Special Forces and police are at alert and barricades have been put at about three kilometers from the jail where Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is locked up, ahead of the court proceedings against the rape convict.

The court proceedings against the rape convict are scheduled to begin at 2:30 pm today.

According to recent reports, the media is also stationed near the barricades that have been put around the Sunaria Jail in Rohtak.

Shoot-at-sight orders have been issued for anybody, who tries to venture inside the boundary or who tries to harm himself or others prior to or in the aftermath of the sentencing.

A CBI officer is inside the jail premises, who is the only point of contact for the media with the proceedings inside the jail.

The barricades have been especially put so that media cannot enter the premises, in and around the jail, and although the police and the paramilitary forces are at alert, there is no special security for the media personnel covering the trial.

Earlier, Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) BS Sandhu had revealed that 52 cases were registered so far and 926 arrests were made.
